    Novena for Vocations

The Diocese of Grand Island Office for Vocations exists to encourage and inspire young people to consider priesthood and religious life. We do this by promoting a culture of vocations in the clergy, religious, and lay faithful through: Prayer, Discernment, and Awareness.

Core Focus Areas

  • Prayer: Encouraging all the faithful to seek the Lord each day and to actively pray for vocations.

  • Discernment: Accompanying young people as they discern God’s call by providing opportunities to grow in their discipleship.

  • Awareness: Engaging our parishes and schools to support an environment open to vocational calling.
